I loved this post and it’s right on. We need more Christian voices in Australia raising this.

Can’t you just hurry up and stake out your ground, and be ready, like a good christian soldier, to defend it at all costs?? It’s too mentally exhausting for me when I need to be on the look out for nuance and perhaps balance a range of opinions/metaphors and accept that they might all hold some value. Not to mention the energy it takes to for me to remain civil when everything that gives my life meaning is being challenged by your lack of willingness to provide certitude (don’t even begin to suggest that maybe my faith is grounded on something other than Jesus)!
And, God forbid, when someone says something clearly WRONG (wrong being anything that falls outside my narrow paradigm)! They MUST be corrected and everyone else in earshot (or eyeshot, in the case of SM) must be warned of their obvious slide into heresy.
This is what makes us super attractive and really great to be around. Cos everyone loves a smug, self assured, contrarian who is incapable of active listening.
